Mississippi lawmakers stop effort to take over Jackson water

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:34:08 GMT

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi lawmakers are giving up on an effort to create a state-dominated board to oversee the troubled water system in the state’s capital city.But, the Republican-controlled state Legislature is still considering proposals to appoint rather than elect some judges and to expand the territory of a state-run police department inside Jackson, which is governed by Democrats.Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba has sharply criticized white lawmakers’ attempts to assert state control in Jackson, which has the highest percentage of Black residents of any major U.S. city.The Jackson water system has been struggling for years and nearly collapsed in August and September, leaving most people in the city of 150,000 without running water to drink, bathe, wash dishes or flush toilets. Parts of the city lost water again during a cold snap in December.In November, the federal government appointed Ted Henifin, an experienced administrator from Virginia, to oversee Jackso...

Heat takes toll as Iditarod mushers trek across Alaska

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:34:08 GMT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Mushers and their dogs in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race face plenty of variables in the Alaska wilderness. An unexpected one this year has been heat that is taking a toll in a sport better suited for temperatures well below zero. Jason Mackey said a thermometer hanging from the back of his sled hit 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.67 degree C) at one point this week as he camped alongside the trail while mushers neared the halfway mark of the race. Other racers threw their game plans for the 1,000-mile (1,609-kilometer) race across Alaska out the window to deal with the heat and messy trail conditions. Although it’s warm, it wasn’t 80 degrees in interior Alaska, which would probably be a record high in July, said Brian Brettschneider, a climate scientist with the National Weather Service’s Alaska Region. Instead, when you leave a thermometer in the sun, it absorbs the solar energy, which is the reason official measurement thermometers are kept in the shade.But i...

United beats Betis 4-1 in rousing response to Liverpool rout

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:34:08 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Chants of “Bruno! Bruno!” reverberated around Old Trafford as the healing process began for Manchester United.The wounds from Sunday’s humiliating 7-0 rout by Liverpool remain fresh. But a 4-1 win against Real Betis in the Europa League was an encouraging response from Erik ten Hag’s players.None more so than Bruno Fernandes, who scored one and had a role in two more in the round-of-16 first leg on Thursday.“I think he was the best player on the pitch, it showed his personality,” United manager Erik ten Hag said.The Dutchman had given his team the chance to begin making amends for Anfield by naming an unchanged lineup. It had the desired effect.Marcus Rashford scored his 26th goal of the season.Antony swept a shot into the top corner from distance. And Wout Weghorst, who had faced a backlash on social media for touching the famous “This is Anfield” sign, let his emotion show when firing in United’s fourth.But perhaps no one needed redemption more than Fern...
